Defrosting
Defrosting the Freezer Compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, mois-
ture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this
frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circum-
stances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of
frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least
once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty
or contains only a small amount of food.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health
and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
1. Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store
it, covered, in a cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or disconnect from the elec-
tricity supply.
3. Remove the stopper from the meltwa-
ter outlet and place a bowl under-
neath it to catch the meltwater.
Tip: You can speed up the defrosting
process by placing a
warm water in the freezer compart-
ment and closing the doors. Remove
pieces of ice that have fallen before
they completely defrost.
4. After defrosting, thoroughly clean
the freezer compartment ( see "Cleaning and Care" section).
